Immediately prior to each session, Scorekeepers will verify that all machine credits are reset to zero and that the machines are set for Tournament play.

Tournament participants should be present in the Tournament Zone five (5) minutes before their assigned playing time in order to participate.

If situations arise in which a Participant is unable to play in his/her assigned session or is not present at the Tournament Zone at the start of their assigned playing time, the Participant may request the Tournament Captain to assign him/her to a different session. Such requests must be made prior to the beginning of the assigned session and shall be entirely at the Tournament Captain’s discretion.

Participants will enter the Tournament area and position themselves in front of their assigned machines. Scorekeepers will verify that Participants are at their assigned machines.

All Participants will start the session at the same time. The “automated emcee,” located on the slot tournament machines, of the Tournament will be the official timekeeper and will signal the beginning and end of each session.

No coins are used for Tournament play; points will be generated instead of cash winnings. A meter on the slot machine will show points accumulated during each session.

The session will end when the time limit on the machine has expired.

Each Participant’s score will be recorded automatically by the tournaments program manager.. The Participant and Scorekeeper will each sign the scorecard, thereby making the score official.

The Tournament Official will then reset all machines.

A Scorekeeper will enter each Participant’s score in the Tournament Scorecard (scorecard summarizing the scores of all Participants) at the end of the session. A second Tournament Official will proof the first Scorekeeper’s entries to ensure accuracy.

Tournament participants must play in all three (3) rounds to qualify for prizes.

Scores will be determined by combining participants’ Round One (1), Round Two (2), and Round Three (3) scores. The combined scores will then be ranked to determine each participant’s place in the Tournament.

Machine Malfunctions:

Tournament Participants are instructed to continue play in a session even if they suspect machine malfunction. If a Participant suspects machine malfunction, he/she is to contact a Scorekeeper or Tournament Official and tell him/her of his/her concerns immediately. The Scorekeeper will then notify the Tournament Captain. The Tournament Captain will notify Slot Performance personnel only if the Tournament Captain suspects that there is a machine tilt or if a reel comes off of the machine. If the Tournament Captain determines that either of the foregoing incidents has occurred, then the Tournament Captain shall contact Slot Performance personnel and request an evaluation of the machine after the session ends. Evaluation of all other claims of malfunction shall be made by the Tournament Captain.

If the machine is determined to have malfunctioned, the Participant’s score for that round will be disregarded, and he/she will be assigned another session and/or machine to make up his/her score.

If it is determined the machine did not malfunction, the Participant’s score will stand. It is important that Participants continue to play even if they suspect machine malfunction.

In cases where machine malfunction is unquestionable, as witnessed by at least a Scorekeeper and the Tournament Captain, the Tournament Captain may call a fault and allow the Participant to stop playing.

A limited number of stand-by machines may exist for the Tournament, but Casino shall not be obligated to maintain or make such "stand-by" machines available for Tournament play. If a machine becomes inoperable during the Tournament, session assignment changes will be made to accommodate the play of all Participants. This may require the addition of one or more sessions to each Round.

Other Rules and Regulations:

Use of harsh or profane language to the Casino staff and/or Tournament Participants will not be tolerated and shall be grounds for DISQUALIFICATION.

A Participant will be eliminated from play if he/she is in violation of any of the Tournament rules or he/she voluntarily withdraws.

The Casino house rules will prevail over any situation not covered in these Tournament rules. The Casino reserves the right to qualify or disqualify any person before, during or after the round(s).

In consideration of participation in the promotion or receipt of a prize, Participant and prize winner agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Casino, its partners, agents, servants, employees, officers, affiliates, directors, subsidiary companies, successors and assigns of the Casino (Indemnified Parties) to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, fines, suits, actions, proceedings, orders, decrees, judgments, damages, costs, charges and expenses of any kind or nature including reasonable attorney fees, in defending any of the above, arising from, resulting from, in connection with, or on account of the performance or non-performance of the promotion and the receipt, condition or quality of the prize or on account of any related action.

Each Participant and prize winner for him/herself, his/her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges the Casino from any and all manner of actions, causes of action, suits, debts, judgments, executions, claims and demands whatsoever now known, or unknown, in law and equity, that he/she ever had, now have, may have, or claim to have against any and all of the Indemnified Parties arising out of, or by reason of, the promotion and the receipt, condition, or quality of the prize or any other matter relating thereto.

The Casino may change any rules as necessary to address questions and issues as they arise.

Notice of changes to the Tournament rules are considered sufficient if posted at Tournament Area.

Copies of these Tournament rules are available at the Tournament Area and the Total Rewards Center.

In the event of a tie for any monetary prize position, except for 1st Place through 5th Place, the tied Participants will split the total combined prize amount for each placing position. By way of example, if there is a tie between the two (2) Participants in 20th Place and 21st Place (20th Place = $1,000 and 21st Place = $500), then the tied Participants will split the combined prize amounts, so each Participant would receive $750 in Cash. By way of example, if there is a tie between two (2) Participants in 30th Place and 31st Place, then the tied Participants will split the prize amount for 30th Place only (as there is no prize for 31st Place) and each Participant would receive $250 in cash.

In the event of a tie for any prize position where the prize is something which cannot be split, there will be a playoff between the tied Participants. The playoff round will follow the same format as the other Tournament rounds previously played. The winner of the playoff will receive the prize that cannot be split. Participants will play the playoff round at time of the official winners’ announcement. If the tied Participants are not present they will be contacted by the Tournament Captain and advised to return to the property to play their playoff round, which may or may not be at the same time of the other tied Participants.

Tied Participants will be notified of the playing time of the playoff round at the Tournament Awards Reception (see Rule #3, Prizes below). Should a tied Participant not show up at the specified playing time of their playoff round, that participant will forfeit their placing position and the prize will go to the remaining Participant.

The Tournament Captain shall have discretion in making prize adjustments. Tournament Captain may round prize amounts to the nearest $5.00 to help facilitate pay out. Tournament Captain may waive the adjustment if Participant drop-off is minimal.

Prize Package is valued at one million, sixty-two thousand, five hundred dollars ($1,062,500) paid in Cash.
